    Behind and Beyond the Crisis Guglielmo Carchedi, International Socialism N°132, October 11

    Behind and beyond the crisis Guglielmo Carchedi, International Socialism n°132, October 11 The 2007 financial crisis has reignited the discussion on crises, their origin and possible remedies.1 At present the most influential thesis on the left sees the crisis as caused by underconsumption and recommends Keynesian policies as a solution. This paper argues that we should understand the crisis from the perspective of Karl Marx’s “law of the tendential fall in the average rate of profit” (ARP), for short “the law”. Its characteristic feature is that technological progress decreases the rate of profit, rather than increasing it as is usually assumed. Let us see why. The law in a nutshell The law’s essential features are as follows: (1) Capitalists compete against each other by introducing new means of production incorporating new technologies. This is not the only form of competition but it is by far the most important one for understanding the dynamics of the crisis.2 (2) The new means of production increase the efficiency (output of use values per unit of capital invested) of the technological leaders in the productive sectors. (3) At the same time, the new technologies are designed to replace labourers with means of production. Therefore the technological leaders’ proportion of capital invested in means of production relative to that in labour power, the organic composition of capital, increases. Unemployment follows. (4) Since only labour creates value, less labour power employed means less (surplus) value created by high‐ technology capitals. All other things being equal, the ARP falls: ‘‘The rate of profit does not fall because labour becomes less productive, but because it becomes more productive”.3 Notice that it is the rate of profit and not the mass of profits that falls.

    Reflections on the Venezuelan Transition from a Capitalist Representative to a Socialist Participatory Democracy What Are Planners to Do?

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Columbia University Academic Commons Reflections on the Venezuelan Transition from a Capitalist Representative to a Socialist Participatory Democracy What Are Planners to Do? by Clara Irazábal and John Foley Venezuela is experiencing a transitional political process in which the government and the majority of Venezuelans want to move from a capitalist representative democracy to a more socialist participatory democracy. This transition is enmeshed in complexities, contradictions, and political opposition. Reflection on the experience of accompanying neighborhood groups in local decision making in Caracas from 2002 to 2006 suggests that planning practitioners and scholars can be allies in the grassroots processes of empowerment and self-determination of local communities and advocates and active agents in the “trickling-up” of greater planning participation to upper levels of government. Keywords: Venezuela, Transition, Socialist participatory democracy, People’s power, Councils Clara Irazábal is assistant professor of international urban planning in the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation of Columbia University. John Foley (d. 2006) was a professor at the Instituto de Urbanismo of the Universidad Central de Venezuela. Irazábal honors his memory and, on his behalf, thanks all of the participants in the two case studies discussed in this article. Additionally, she thanks Gabriel Fumero, Silvia Fumero, Gonzalo Gómez, Teresa Rodríguez, Niurca Rodríguez, Werther Saldoval, and Gustavo Vizcuña for sharing their valuable insights as participants and/or observers of communal councils in Venezuela. Lastly, she acknowledges enriching comments on previous drafts by Steve Ellner and Daniel Hellinger.

THE "FIFTH INTERNATIONAL ?": DISSIDENTS IN EASTERN EUROPE* by Wieland Zademach Dr. Wieland Zademach is a Lutheran pastor in Streitau, _West Germany. His doctoral dissertation was written in 1971 about the Christian-Marxist dialogue of the 1960' s and published in 1973 in DUsseldorf as Marxistischer Atheismus und die biblische Botschaft von der Rechtfertigung des Gottlosen. In 1979, his book Eurokommu­ nismus�-Weg oder Irrweg was published in Munich. A new "ghost" seems to be stalking in Europe, and particularly in Eastern Europe, in the shape of civil rightists, dissidents, and defenders of human rights. The Polish writer A. Szczypiorski said two years ago that "no other political figur= has had such a flourishing career in European intellectual life during the last few y=ars as tqe dis- 1 sident." And clearly this career is giving increasingly frequent headaches to govern- ments in Eastern Europe.
  • The Sociopathology of Social Collectives

    The Sociopathology of Social Collectives

    THE PATHOLOGIES OF SOCIAL COLLECTIVES Maurice Yolles Centre for the Creation of Coherent Change and Knowledge Liverpool John Moores University, UK Intended for ISSS Conference, Tokyo 2007 ABSTRACT Social collectives are today increasingly more complex than they were in ancient Greece. As a result their coherence suffers and their pathologies become more apparent. A theory that can create generic models of pathologies be will be explored in terms of the knowledge cybernetics schema. One of the outlying consequences of such a model is the realisation that many social collectives are sociopathic, working for their own perceived benefit (and sometimes duplicitously so) against the viable interests of the society in which they exist. This is not just a problem of ethics and many might suggest, but extends to ideology that ethics serve. Keywords: Social collectives, complexity, coherence, pathologies, knowledge cybernetics schema, ideology, ethics, sociopathology. INTRODUCTION In this paper we shall explore the pathologies and sociopathologies that can develop, using theory that comes out of the knowledge cybernetics paradigm. Modern theory of social collectives argues that they are not, as the old theory would have told us, stable structures that manage to maintain equilibrium, but rather they survive as bounded unstable structured, maintaining their survival because they use energy to maintain their organisation and reverse the entropic processes that erode them. This process is also represented in the theory of viable systems, in which the ability of the system to survive depends on its ability to create the requisite variety (Ashby, 1964) that equally responds to the variety it experiences from the environment.

    JOURNAL OF WORLD-SYSTEMS RESEARCH ISSN: 1076-156X | Vol. 25 Issue 2 | DOI 10.5195/JWSR.2019.956 | jwsr.pitt.edu FORUM ON SAMIR AMIN’S PROPOSAL FOR A NEW INTERNATIONAL OF WORKERS AND PEOPLES Samir Amin, a leading scholar and co-founder of the world-systems tradition, died on August 12, 2018. Just before his death, he published, along with close allies, a call for ‘workers and the people’ to establish a ‘fifth international’ to coordinate support to progressive movements. To honor Samir Amin’s invaluable contribution to world-systems scholarship, we are pleased to present our readers with a selection of essays responding to Amin’s final message for today’s anti-systemic movements. This forum is being co-published between Globalizations, the Journal of World-Systems Research, and Pambazuka News. Readers can find additional essays and commentary in these outlets. The following essay has been published in Globalizations and is being reproduced here with permission. World Revolution or Socialism, Community by Community, in the Anthropocene? Lesley Sklair London School of Economics [email protected] The idea of a Fifth International has been around for some time and the historical record is not encouraging. For the past few years I have been wrestling with an apparent contradiction in the work of all of us on the Left. On the one hand, our research demonstrates how powerful and successful consumerist capitalism and its integral system of ‘nation-states’ has been, never more so than in its current neoliberal/social democratic forms (by which I mean ‘New Labour’ in the UK and elsewhere).

    STATE AND REVOLUTION Marxist Teaching about the Theory of the State and the Tasks of the Proletariat in the Re"olution BY v. I. LENIN REVISED TRANSLAnON INTERNATIONAL PUBUSHERS NEW YORK TO THE READER In connection with our Tenth' Anniversary we issued a special 100,000­ edition of Joseph Stalin's Foundations of Leninism. Although this book contained 128' pages, the large edition made it possible to reduce the price to 10 cents. This was the first time a mass distribution of a basic theoretical book was attempted in this country. At that time we con­ sidered this to be a bold step, but justified by the keen interest in the literature of Marxism and Leninism. Our expectations were more than fulfilled. The edition was received enthusiastically. We take this oppor­ tunity to acknowledge the cooperation of thousands of people without whose help this edition could not have been distributed so rapidly. The pioneer work has been done. For our second book in this series of IOo,ooo-editions of theoretical works, we have chosen Lenin's State and Revolution, a major contribution to the literature of Marxism. This brilliant work on the nature of the state, capitaiist democracy and pro­ letarian dictatorship is especially pertinent at the present moment. We feel sure that with your cooperation the distribution of the present book will be highly successful. In fact, we feel confident that during the course of this year we will be able to issue loo,eoe-editions of several more classics of this type. At this time we are also issuing leo,ooe-editions of the Communist Manifesto at 5 cents, and Lenin's famous Letter to the American Workers at 3 cents.

Based on action research carried out within the left-libertarian (“Grassroots’) wing of the movement, it notes imbalances in participation in a very intensive form of political activity, and asks how activists understand winning. It finds substantial congruence between organisational practice and long-term goals, noting social justice and participatory democracy along with feminist, environmental and anti-war concerns as central. Using Wallerstein’s proposed transition strategy for anti-systemic movements, it argues that Irish alter-globalisation activists are realistic about popular support and state power, and concerned to link short-term work around basic needs with the construction of alternative institutions and long-term struggles for a different social order. Key words: social movements, Ireland, alter-globalisation, anti-capitalism, strategy, utopia Introduction: alter-globalisation and Ireland In 2010, the worldwide alter-globalisation movement is fifteen years old, dating from the first Zapatista-sponsored Encuentros, which in turn gave rise to the People’s Global Action alliance that shut down the World Trade Organisation in Seattle in 1999 – since which point it has been unable to conclude a single trade round. Irish participants were first involved in the 2000 and 2001 protests in Prague and Genoa respectively, while 2002 saw the police discover that the media and other elites did not accept the licence they believed they had to attack participants of a Reclaim the Streets party in Dublin (Ní Dhorchaigh and Cox 2009).
